Classic roadside motel with modern amenities and a friendly staff. Easily the best value in Potsdam. The room was clean and perfectly functional. Met my needs and was the perfect jumping off point to spend time in the area. The rooms are small functional spaces, not ultra modern higher end hotel rooms. If you’re looking for a clean space to sleep and recharge, you won’t find a better value in the area.
